Balance....or balancing act?

Anonymous has left a new comment on your post "For the balance of my inquiry...":

According to the electronic records of the clerk of court for Orleans Parish Civil District Court, Daya Naef represents Home Solutions Restoration of Louisiana in at least three lawsuits in which the City of New Orleans or a related entity is named as a party:

HOME SOLUTIONS RESTORATION OF LOUISIANA, INC. VERSUS ORLEANS PARISH SCHOOL BOARD, No. 2008-13283, Division "I" (only the School Board is named)

SEWELL, STEPHEN SCOTT ET AL VERSUS HOME SOLUTIONS OF AMERICA, INC. ET AL, No. 2009-2078, Division "K" (City is a party, City Attorney Albert Thibodeaux the only attorney listed for City)

HOME SOLUTIONS RESTORATION OF LOUISIANA, INC. ET AL VERSUS FRENCH MARKET CORPORATION ET AL, No. 2009-5751, Division "K" (City Department of Public Works named as party, represented by John F. Weeks, an outside lawyer)

There appears to be a pretty obvious conflict of interest between Naef and her husband. Has the City signed off on anything waiving the conflict? Probably not. Are measures being taken to screen Ellis from looking at this City files? Probably not.

Can Bob Ellis -- errr, I mean whoever is defending the Ellis Posse -- enlighten us on what has been done to address the conflict?
